Carbery & Beara U13 Emerging Players; Football Initiative 2011

Next week will see a series of coaching sessions for young footballers across Carbery and Beara. This initiative, run by Cork GAA Games Development and the divisional boards, is for players of all abilities, born in 1998 (U13). The aim is twofold: to provide the club player with high quality coaching while also building a database of players to assist the selection process for U14 regional or divisional squads in 2012. All players who attend will be invited to further sessions as well as blitz competitions during the mid-term break in late October.

On Tuesday, August 16th at 10am, the following clubs are asked to send players to a session at Castlehaven: Carbery Rangers, Castlehaven, Gabriel Rangers, Tadgh MacCarthaigh, Muintir Bhaire, Clann na nGael.
